Quote:

LET’S get together,” sang the choir to the rhythm of Bob Marley, as a succession of African leaders signed an ambitious, continent-wide free-trade agreement in Kigali on March 21st. Although all 55 members of the African Union (AU) had been involved in negotiations around the grandly named Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA), not all were ready to sign as one. On the day, 44 put pen to paper. Among the holdouts was Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy. Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s president and the host of the AU summit, had no time for sceptics. “Some horses decided to drink the water. Others have excuses and they end up dying of thirst.”

Same thing people said about Asia. China used to be one of the poorest countries in the world but they ended up pulling almost 1 billion people out of poverty.







Libya used to be the most developed country in Africa until the US and NATO bombed the hell of the country because Gaddafi was going to introduce the gold dinar which would have lead Africa out of poverty and put a stop to external exploitation. This currency could have destroyed the dollar and if you wanted to buy say oil from africa you would have to use this currency and they can charge whatever they like. Then a couple of months later Libya is now one of the poorest countries in the world. The only people who benefited from this war are the banks and corporations. Longer the continent stays in debt then they're still slaves.
